      Hi all,

      First time posting so forgive me if it's a simple question. I am stuck on this screen after a fresh install of Retropie. I have had it working in the past but not sure what is going in here.

      I used the Rasoberry Pi Imager v1.7.2 for the install on a 64gb Toshiba Exceria (microSDXC 1). I also followed the official instructions.

        Looks like you chose the wrong image for your system - i.e. the pi3 image on a Pi4 system or vice-versa.

          @mitu Thank you for the reply. I am using a Pi4 and I am sure I selected the correct image eg “4/400” but I will double check this when I get home and report back.

            @mitu ok I can confirm that I am a dumb dumb haha… I actually have an pi3, for some reason I thought I had a pi4 which is why I was selecting the pi4 image. It now worked by selecting the correct image.

            Thanks again for the reply. I’m going to leave this here so others can learn from my stupidity haha
